Girl Who Underwent Liver Transplant Surgery at Nine Months Makes Full Recovery

Two months after being put on the waiting list, she underwent the transplant surgery at St James' Hospital in Leeds after being given half of a 37-year old man's liver.

Ellie-Mae's mother, Karen said that she asked the hospital authorities who the donor was and was surprised when told that it was a 37-year old man. ""I asked where the liver had come from because I didn't like to think of another child dying to help Ellie-Mae and was astonished to be told it was half of that of a 37-year-old man and the other half had saved another life", she said.
